Yay Ebay.

Hello Everyone

I wanted to do a quick update but really have nothing to update.

I'm stressing because even though it feels like this trip is forever away, I still feel like I'm running out of time.

I need to get to Ebaying & pay off everything else. In reality I'm doing good but still.

I want them to relese friggin park hours already

I plan on making a few ADRs as soon as I can (even though nobody wants to pick right now & blah blah, with the free dining, I'm worried we wont be able to get in anywhere)

I also need to do some more searching for rental discount codes since we decided on renting a car. (So if you know of any please share!)

We were originally going to rent one for a day or two at the on site rental place but I did the math.... We were planning on getting a few food things for the room from gardengrocer (not my idea, my stalker father who likes to go overboard on everything feels we need MORE food. You should see our fridge! We could feed a small army... Im sure hes going to love me saying these things ) They require a $40 minimum order plus $12 delivery fee on top of the price I was quoted for the Disney Alamo site for a 2 day compact rental ($109 dollars?!?!)
So I've done a little bit of searching & am fidning I can get a car for the week for around that same price.

I've spent the past 3 days cleaning my room & getting rid of things. And I have most of this trip paid off yet I feel like my "to do" list hasnt gotten any shorter.

I think the allergies are messing with my mood. I'm grumpy right now when really I should be jumping for joy. Mama is cancer free & I'm going to Disney soon & meeting so many amazing people.

Im putting the grumpy away! So ignore the grumpyness...

I think I'm buying MNSSHP tickets this weekend. Yay!

I told Jen that if I love MNSSHP I might hit up friday night on my own, ha ha.

On another happy note... Dad & I went to dinner last Friday night. After we went to Target & him being the pain in the @$$ he is (and despite me telling him not to) he got me a new swim suit for the trip. Its SO cute & I love it. I keep thinking of it to help push me to loose more weight for the trip. I have a great Dad (even if he is a stalker )

Of course it doesnt look *that* good on me but I'm working on it!

I also have this one I bought at Target in Orlando on my last Dis trip in December. I love it. It had cute lil anchors all over it

Well thats all I've got for now. The girls I nanny for are about due to wake up so I need to get off Dis. Double jobs today soI wont be home til like 1am. Lame.

It will be worth the logn crappy hours come September

 

[kdzbear]

Hang in there 11 more days and they will post the September hours! We went in 2007 and then I had a friend go in 2008 - both in September. I have spreadsheets that were made with the hours from then and dining plans. I have tentatively made where I would like to eat and when. Soon we will be able to make reservations! You will get what you want. You just may have to put the more preferred locations later in your stay. I am just as ancy about hours and making reservations!

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

Glad to hear about your mom! That is so awesome. I know I posted on FB but wanted to post here too.

We're renting a car too. We have one in place now but I always, always check right before we're going and so far every year the rate has gone down. I am crossing my fingers that this happens again this year.

We've never done the grocery delivery. I was reading about it but never did it. You'll have to share the experience. Let us know what you think.

I will be doing this when the September hours come out!

Can't wait to meet you!

 

[Synndy]

Anyone still here?!

I am sorry I have neglected you my Disboard friends. Forgive me?

Ive been working lots & getting my butt KICKED hardcore by allergies.

So onto what you all actually care about.....

New Updates​

I got our tickets for MNSSHP! *insert happy dance here*

Ebay stuff is going ok. Im not putting on as much as I'd like but having the time & energy is key. I'm hoping tomorrow night I wont have to work job #2 & will be able to spend some time at home doing Ebay & getting this trip paid off. Woo.

In the meantime it prolly doesn't help that I have been SPENDING money. Boo me. I got 3 new swimsuits from Victoria's Secret online. Oy... that store. So much love. Any who... I ordered 3 new swimsuits for Florida for under $50 dollars! Yeah... that's pretty friggin awesome if I do say so myself, considering I wouldn't be able to go to target & get 3 suits for that cheap!
More motivation to get my big fat booty into shape
*the pics aren't the greatest because I got them from Ebay since the site wouldn't let me save pics of the colors I got*
Pretty Jade green Polka Dot one

Red with white stars on it (I have a purple one already that I got from IN the store & not online. I love it & it looks so cute on!)

And my final one.... another pretty star one

Ok... enough of the swimmy suits.

Outside of that I've been good with not spending money. Trying to pay off this trip is reason enough. Plus I eventually would like to buy my own DVC. Doubtful but a girl can dream right? Oh & those pesky things called bills that come around every month. Those are my least favorite.

One last splurge I did was partly for Sept trip & partly for this weekend...

One of my best friends in the world lives in Baltimore. Shes originally from around here but moved to Bmore to teach. Shes amazing & I love her to death. I keep telling her Id visit but never have. Its a 8 hour drive each way which Id have to make alone & driving that long alone with Narcolepsy is really hard (pulling over for naps sucks!).

The fabulous AIRTRAN airways had a flight sale & I got round trip air for about $70 bucks! I figured with gas prices being as high as they are, even if I did make the 16 hour trip, id have to fill up before leaving, once when there & once home (if not more). At around $30 bucks a tank Im saving myself 14 hours of travel & at least $30 dollars! yay me.

So I'm leaving Sat by myself & will be home tuesday. Were going to see Bmore & the aquarium there & Hershey Park on monday!!!! So excited. Plus its time with my bestie

The only down fall with AIRTRAN is you have to pay for a checked bag. Sooo being the naughty girl I am, I bought myself a SUPER CUTE new carry on bag from Ebay. I'm so in love with it & its perfect size (so Airtran wont charge me, woo!) It was only $20 (with free shipping) so damn hate too much (aka stalker fathers who will question me about buying things off Ebay instead of paying for the trip lol)

Have I mentioned my love affair with Polka Dots?

I also worked on a mock itinerary but need to email it to the fam to get their thoughts & opinions. Plus Im too lazy to type it all out not. Maybe tomorrow.

goodnight loves

Have an awesome time in Baltimore. You will have to do a TR here so we can hear all about it.
